8 0

Answer: y = 1/2x - 7

<u>Data</u>

Point = (-4, -9)

slope = m = 1/2

<u>Process</u>

To solve this problem, use the formula slope- y-coordinate, substitute the values and simplify.

<u>Equation</u>

 y - y1 = m (x - x1)

       x1 = -4

       y1 = -9

<u>Substitution</u>

y + 9 = 1/2 (x + 4)

<u>Simplification</u>

 y + 9 = 1/2x + 4/2

  y = 1/2x + 2 - 9

<u>Answer</u>

y = 1/2x - 7

The surface area of a cube is 96 square inches. What is the length of an edge of the cube, in inches?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has 6 sides and to find the surface area you would multiply one side by 6, or add the six sides together. So instead, to find the length of one side, you divide the surface area, 96, by 6 to get 16.

Hope this helps you :)
